Sydney Opera House: Pay No Attention
4 July @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm AEST

The Flying Fruit Fly Circus returns this June – July with a brand-new show where knockabout comedy meets breathtaking aerials. Experience the incredible talent of young performers in this high-energy circus extravaganza!
With spectacular circus skills, sleight of hand and enigmatic performances, thirteen young acrobats pull you into a whirlpool of post-truth malarkey. Everyone has a version; no one agrees. Pay No Attention is by turns hilarious, unsettling and awe-inspiring – a circus puzzle about what it means to be seen.
In an age of “fake news”, digital manipulation and endless conflicting stories, Pay No Attention reflects the lived experience of today’s young people: sorting through fragments, questioning authority, embracing fluidity and constructing their own truths and identities.
